I liked my stay here. The staff were helpful and moved me to a different room when the aircon wasn't working properly in my room. The location is very convenient, right to the park which is perfect for a morning stroll. The food here is also really good, I got the mushroom fried rice and was pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was.

Not social at all, but there’s only two hostels in the city and they are sisters. There’s a lot of stairs and no elevator for the first half. They have free tea though that was good and postcards to send home, which was cool.
